AMERICANS DOWN 84 NAZI PLANES, LOSE 37 IN RAIDS (Continued from Page A 1) said the Fortresses and their long- range escort battled it out for two a half hours in a vicious running conflict even fiercer than that on January 11 when an attack on Brunswick, Oschersleben and Halberstadt cost 60 heavy bombers and exacted a toll of 152 Nazi fighters. The swarms of Nazi defenders attacked at the French coast and hung on all the way to the target in central Germany and back, us-i ing every variety of strategem, many types of planes and firing their rocket guns into the bristling formations of bombers.

to go the full 450-mile distance to Brunswick, some of the Thunderbolt fighting escort turned back, leaving the Fortresses to fight it out alone with the savage enemy defenders.

YANKS, AUSSIES EFFECT JUNCTURE (Continued from A 1) communique said of the New Guinea land victory. "A Japanese reinforced division, trapped with its supply and munlcatlon lines cut and with its way to the south blocked by almost Impassable mountain ranges and our forces in the Ramu valley, was gradually destoryed In Its desperate efforts to break out to the west. "Starvation and disease well as constant air bombardment and continuous attacks by light naval units, (mostly patrol torpedo boats), supplemented the work of our ground forces." Abandoned (In the closing stages of 'the campaign bodies of Japanese Soldiers were found unharmed by bullets or shells. They starved to death.

Wounded were found abandoned, indicating the sea-air blockade had exhausted medical supplies.) "The enemy units engaged were the 79th, 80th and 238th Infantry regiments, the 26th field artillery regiment and the 20th and 33rd engineer regiments and miscellaneous service, naval base and base units. "His aggregate strength amounted to approximately 14,000 men, the great bulk of which has been destroyed." The development was the latest of a series indicating that Japan's defensive positions are crumbling on the southern flank of the ocean corridor leading from the Bismarck sea to the Philippines. Rabaul, key to the enemy's grip on the entire area, was referred to as "ottering," a term the censor left unehnaged in clearing a dispatch from Guadalcanal by Fred Hampson, Associated Press war correspondent. Madang, principal Japanese on the northeastern New Guinea coast, appeared to Allied warplane pilots to have been deserted. DENIES SERVICE AGE LIMIT WILL BE HIKED Acting Secretary of War Says It Is Not True Celling Will Be Raised From 38 to 43.

Most field work by deputy collectors of internal revenue in southwest Missouri is being wound up! this week and the Joplin division office will have a larger staff start- Ing next week to handle flood tide of income tax returns expected to open up during the next month. Brad Minor, chief of the Joplin bureau, said yesterday there has) been thus far a "steady flow" of taxpayers at the local office, but that a greater rush la expected in the month preceding the March 15 deadline. Early Filing Urged. "Few people have had to stand in line or wait for long so far," Minor said. "We have had all we could handle, but no bottleneck has developed as yet" He said it takes about 30 minutes to file a return for an average taxpayer.

Again urging taxpayers to file their returns as soon as possible, Minor said it may be that even though the local staff is enlarged considerable congestion may be caused by a last-minute rush in March. Field men report they have met with general response and cooperation in their trips to communities throughout Missouri to facilitate filing of returns, Minor said. SCRAP PAPER DRIVE TO BE CLOSED TODAY Salvage Material, Gathered at Neighborhood Depots, to Be Taken to Schools. Washington, Feb. P.

Patterson, acting secretary of war, denied today a report that the army will raise the upper age limit for draftees from 38 to 45. "So far as I know that's not true," he said in response to a question at a news conference. "You recall that when the age limit was reduced from 45 to 38 in the fall of 1942, it was done as a result of army and navy experience that men in the higher -age group were less effective. "There are, of course, a. good many men in the service above 38 and a lot of them are perfectly fit, but to take them by and large is quite a different matter." 98 STUDENT NURSES END STRIKE IN COLUMBUS, GA.

Columbus, Feb. protests on top of a grim warning that they might be certified to federal authorities as "deserters" broke a sit-down strike of 98 student nurses at the Columbus city hospital late today. The girls, who quit work this morning in protest against working conditions and new regulations restricting i "nights out," stayed idle in their nurses quarters past a 3 p. m. deadline fixed by the hospital board, but then began to drift away in small groups until before nightfall all were back at their posts.

Parents and other relatives had telephoning the students throughout the day as word of the strike spread and some of the girls attributed collapse of the work stoppage to this pressure. Superintendent Harris Smith said that no further action would be taken "so far as I am concerned." Some 200 patients were left unattended when the students quit at 7 a. m. Retired graduate nurses and Red Cross aids were called in and shortly after noon Superintendent Harris Smith said the institution was "fully staffed." Smith said some doctors contended that 97 of the girls, as members of the nurses cadet corps, had enlisted for the duration of the War to serve wherever needed most and the hospital board warned these nurses they might be certified to federal authorities as "deserters."

There has been a widespread solicitation in each neighborhood throughout the week and the paper has been stored at neighborhood depots.

Today the paper is to be taken to the school buildings, where it will be tied and later collected. According to A. E. Nommensen, chairman of the scrap paper division of the salvage committee, indications are that there will be a greater amount of paper collected in the present drive than in any previous one, and the competition between the schools has been keen. Pupils Have Instructions.

The collecting was carried on without interference in school work and classes will be held as usual today. The paper be assembled at the schools before school, during- the noon hour and in the late afternoon. Members of the committee visited all schools during the week to provide twine and gave instructions so that the paper will be properly bundled. The salvage committee has arranged for trucks to haul tho paper to the junk yards, where it will be sold at prevailing prices, and then sent away to the salvage plants to help alleviate the present acute paper shortage. Each school is to receive a percentage of the money obtained from the paper collected at each respective school and the one collecting the largest tonnage in comparison to enrollment, is to be presented with a large American flag.

WALLACE CHARGE AGAINST BIG BUSINESS ASSAILED Washington, Feb. A. Johnston, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, commenting on a speech by Vice President Wallace, said today that if a threat of Fascism exists in the United States, "it is not to be found in big business, but in big government." Wallace asserted in Seattle last night that the American people must keep the "hard headed business man" of the past from "leading the world astray "after war. Johnston said in a statement: "Name calling by the vice president of the United States is the wrong way to get national unity in this hour of crisis. "We are on the eve of an invasion which will bring out most crucial military test.

What a time for a high official in government to sow seeds of dissension and disunity!" The vice president said that only by planning now for the post-war period could the nation prevent "American Fascists" from taking over. He desaribed such a group as "those who believe that Wall street comes first and the country second." Johnston declared that "American business despises Fascism." "Let us stop pointing the finger of suspicion at one another," he adde. "And get on with the war- together." KNELL ACES WILL MEET CROWDER CAGERS TONIGHT Carthage, Feb. 10.

He Says Would Oust "Absolutism" and "Restore Sanity." Washington, Feb.

Ohio's Governor John W. Bricker took the wraps off his presidential campaign strategy tonight and before an assembly of party chieftains unfolded his plan to: 1. Fight the Roosevelt policies down the line on domestic issues-subsidies, taxes, financing, labor, national service, and the service vote. 2. Leave the conduct of the war to the admirals and generals who he thinks should get most of the credit and should not be "interfered" with.

The smartly-groomed, 50-year-oid Bricker revealed his domestic platform in a speech to a Lincoln day dinner, the first time he has appeared in the capital as an avowed piesidential candidate. Ohio republicans turned it into a Bricker boom. Job for Military Men. Earlier in the day, the governor gave a press conference preview in which he conceded President Roosevelt some "credit" for the conduct of the war, but took the position that it is a job for the professional military men and they should be left alone to do it. Bricker criticized consumer food subsidies as "postponing" the day of payment, the federal war ballot bill as inadequate in contrast to his personally-favored idea of a state ballot for servicemen, a civilian labor draft as "too late" now to do any good, federal housing as infringing on a job private industry can do.

He also took a shot at what he called British "interference" in U. S. elections, referring to published editorials in Britain favoring continuance of Mr. Roosevelt in power. House Minority Leader Martin of Massachusetts introduced Bricker, saying: The old elephant is on the march; he sniffs victory in the air." Predicts G.

O. P. Victory. Martin said the G. O.

P. would win in November because "millions of honest, sincere, patriotic Jeffersonian democrats will submerge party to the welfare of their country" and join with the republicans. He recalled that after the first world war "the people turned to the republican party to rebuild and reorganize the economy of this country and history is repeating itself." Bricker was the principal speaker at a. party gathering to celebrate Lincoln's birthday, held in the Mayflower hotel. He laid down a five-plank platform which recommended: 1.

Return to "balanced buget" federal financing. 2. Establishment of "responsible cabinet government" eliminating "czars" and super-imposed agencies. Advocates Ixwer Taxes. 3.

Simplified tax laws that remain stable, so drawn as to encourage "venture capital" and expending business; lower federal taxes "as soon as possible" after the war ends. 4. Assurances that state and local governments have autonomy, "not a mere sham and pretense financially dependent upon Washington." 5. A clear-cut government labor policy defined by a. "fair" law and "just enforcement" of that law, including a prohibition on wartime strikes.

Bricker contrasted the republican party as "liberal" with the new deal as "reactionary." The Roosevelt administration "is the American counterpart of the sweep of absolutism which has destroyed so much liberty around the world. It lacks faith in our people. It assumes that people can not take care of themselves," said Bricker. "The time has now come," he said, "to take the policy-making power of government out of the hands of the arrogant bureaucrats and return it to the hands of the elected representatives of the people." Bricker said he was confident the republicans would win the 1944 election and added that he was "more interested" in that--defeating the new deal philosophy--than in being president. The republicans, he said, have many leaders he would be proud to support for the presidency while "the new deal has only one candidate." He hit President Roosevelt's proposed "win-the-war" slogan as something that should be resented.

"Winning the war is not a partisan opportunity," the governor said, and "win the war" became the "watchword of every patriotic American" the day of the Pearl Harbor attack. Beyond the winning of the -war, Bricker said "the paramount task is to restore order and sanity in our fiscal affairs and our system of taxation."

This all-out thrust probably will be accompanied by similar counterattacks all around the front to keep the Allies from shifting support to the British. Hard-hitting preliminary thrusts have been under way for several days now as the Nazis seek to soften all front sectors. Captured Germans, showing more battle eagerness here than they did at the Cassino front, say they had been told they would be granted leave as soon as they conquered the beachhead. Many of them admit they were brought in from southern France. Others captured are members of Hitler's own special guard--the Reichfuehrer's.

Fowler, president of district 21 of the United Mine Workers, declared today that an "invasion" of the Arkansas Oklahoma bituminous field by wildcat strip mine operators is creating a state of chaos in the area industry. The "wildcatters," he said, are dirt moving contractors who have completed government project work in Texas, Illinois and Kansas and wh ohave transferred their machinery and other equipment to this field where they are working outcroppings and are flooding the market with sub-grade coal. Fowler said he had made .1 complete report on the situation to John L.
